1. Extract the file to your DocumentRoot

e.g. # tar xvfz aphpkb-x.xx.x.tgz -C /-documentroot-/

1.1 For Linux/Unix, check that you have the correct permissions and ownership.

e.g.,

        # cd /-documentroot-/
        # chmod 755 -R ./aphpkb
        # chown -R apache:apache ./aphpkb

another example (using MacOSX),

	# cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/
	# chmod 775 -R ./aphpkb
	# chown -R www:devuser ./aphpkb

2. Create the Database

# mysql -u [database user]
 mysql> create database akb;
 mysql> use akb;
 mysql> exit
# mysql -u [database user] akb < akb.sql

3. Knowledgebase setup

Access:

http://your-url-to-aphpkb/

If aphpkb hasn't been set-up, the page will be forwarded to the setup form, the default user and password is admin/changeme123

Fill out the form to your requirements for the knowledgebase, and the access details for your MySQL system.

4. You should now be ready to access your knowledgebase and create articles.
